My, what a difference another set of artists and programmers can make. It's hard to believe that this is the same engine that gave us the graphically mediocre DX2. Oh, and even though you can't tell from the resize..the 2nd pic is of a zombie.

You can find the original 1600x1200 at The Circle (http://www.thief-thecircle.com/)

lol, Lara editing my bigass pic posts not once, but twice, has taught me the error of my ways.

It wasn't your constant "oh the pikturz r too big wah wah wah" bishing prodded me on to resizing everything to 800x600...sorry to burst your bubble. :D

Zombies... why do they have to bring back the f###ing zombies?

So do we know if those are recent pictures? 'Cause the early screenshots of Deus Ex 2 looked pretty sweet too, but we all know how that turned out.

[Renzatic Gear]

Yeah, but the big difference there is that the good Deus Ex shots were shown when the game was still a couple of years off, Thief 3 is due out by around the end of next month.

When DX2 was this close to release, the screenshots were already showing what we'd get ingame and had changed quite a bit from what we saw earlier.

lol, oh yeah..they brought back the Haunts, too.

Ah, but you didn't show the altogether more disappointing 3rd pic from that recent set. You know, the one of Garrett in 3rd person standing next to a muddy, blurry, badly textured wall?

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Huh? I thought that looked pretty good- Garrett is shaping up to be cool enough looking! Sorry, didn't really notice the wall textures though.

[Renzatic Gear]

Yeah, the textures are a mixed bag. On one hand most of them are really high res and look awesome, but on the other it seems that some DX2 textures snuck in and decided to hang around just for the hell of it.

But overall I can't complain. Thief 1 & 2 wern't exactly the best looking games in the world when they came out, and T3, once you look at it, is more comparable to games like Doom 3 and HL2 than either of those games were to the graphical heavy hitters of their time.
